Well I do not have any favourite song, there are so many to choose from

Hi AreBor -- I did enjoy the exchange of that particular Neil Young song because it is one of my favorites of his and I was happy to be able to contribute the few lines that I did -- as they are my favorite lines of the song

Hello pat, well I left thinking that this is not such a crazy place after all.

AreBor and Pat - want to do that again - my turn, then Pats On a morning from a Bogart movie, In a country where they turn back time

I just saw this quote on facebook, posted by a very dear friend of mine -- who doesn't usually post these sorts of things, so not quite sure why she posted it. Anyway, I'm going to place it here for now: “If we could read the secret history of our enemies we would find within each person’s life a sorrow and a suffering enough to disarm all hostility.” –Henry Wadsworth Longfellow For Nemesis -- I'm not really all that good with lyrics, songs, etc., so I'm not able to add to your most recent line -- sorry, but I'm not even sure where the line is from. For AreBor -- Yeah, despite the crazy times we might get ourselves into here, we are usually able to bounce back and just have our everyday, run-of-the-mill forum filled with lunatics

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came Here's a few more lines - I'm sure someone will get it:

ARTIST: Al Stewart TITLE: Year of the Cat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-GMX2m8TUY&feature=related On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat / Cmaj7 D Em - / / / Am7 - D7 - / : She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat Well, she looks at you so coolly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat / B - C - / G - D - / B - C - / G - F C D - / Cmaj7 D Em - / / Well morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drumbeat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the new-born day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat

Michael: You have to answer for Santino, Carlo. You fingered Sonny for the Barzini people. Carlo Rizzi: Mike, you got it all wrong. Michael: Ah, that little farce you played with my sister. You think that would fool a Corleone? Carlo Rizzi: Mike, I'm innocent. I swear on the kids. Michael: Sit down. Carlo Rizzi: Please don't do this to me, Mike. Please don't. Michael: Barzini is dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia. Moe Greene. Stracci. Cuneo. Today I settled all family business so don't tell me that you're innocent. Admit what you did. [Carlo starts sobbing] Michael: Get him a drink. Don't be afraid, Carlo. Come on, you think I'd make my sister a widow? I'm Godfather to your son. [Carlo get handed a drink] Michael: Go ahead. Drink. Drink. No, you're out of the family business, that's your punishment. You're finished. I'm putting you on a plane to Vegas. Tom? [Tom hands Michael an airplane ticket]

Jonny B, or in your case jonny b good you little minx, now you guess this one- A girl cries in the early morning woken by the sound of a gun.....

I found out that every Eric Bazilian song (lead singer The Hooters) I posted at Facebook ended up at his Facebook page - cause somehow I am on his Friends list, curses Steve Mountain, so I am extremely embarrassed sigh, anywho.... "El Salvador" Christy Moore Verse 1 Am G A girl cries in the early morning Em Am Woken by the sound of a gun Am G She knows somewhere somebodys dying Em F Beneath the rising sun C G Outside the window of her cabania Am Em The shadows are full of her fears C G She knows her lover is out there somewhere Am Em He's been on the run for a year CHORUS F G Am Oh,the soul of El salvador Verse 2 Bells ring out on the chapel steeple A priest prepares to say mass The sad congregation come tired and hungry To pray that the troubles will pass Meanwhile the sun rises over the dusty streets Where his body was found Flies and mosquitoes are drinking from pools of blood Where the crowd gathers round. CHORUS out on the ranch the rich mans preparing to go for his morning ride they've saddled his horse out in the corral he walks out full of pride he looks like a cowboy from one of those pictures a president made in the past peasants in rags, they stand back for they know that enrico gallops fast Chorus Over the soul of El Salvador. okay figure this one out: There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?) There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?) And he's bucking, and braying, and pawing at the floor (How much longer?) And he's howling with pain, crawling up the walls (How much longer?)

I would be extremely embarrassed too.

I think that all of us are 5-year-olds and we don't want to be embarrassed in the schoolyard.
